I don’t have the ability to host with a direct internet connection - and the power bill is definitely a cause for concern! :) I am available for code testing/fixing - I will poke around the hppa port and see where I might be able to help - if there is anything specific that you know of, please let me know! Apologies on the buildd - I definitely want the port to stay moving along - if I ever get hosting for the j6750, I will be able to offer it up - I will let the list know if that becomes a possibility.
